A new order for New Order   
by brooklynlad1

First, let me say -- I (like most other reviewers here) have been a NO fan for well over two decades now.
Every album they've released -- up to now -- has had a few stellar tracks, several good ones, and a couple that you tend to pass over every time for whatever reason. UNTIL NOW. Music Complete is not only their best album, but there is NOT ONE BAD SONG on it. It's simply a brilliant album from start to finish. Everyone here has their favourites already. I must go with "Superheated", the album's last -- and best -- track. Seriously -- if you don't find yourself moving to this song, there is something wrong with you.

In case you don’t remember that far back, Steve Strange saw early fame with a Sex Pistols gig in the late ’70s, and went on to form the New Romantic movement. 

Some of you might remember his first international appearance in David Bowie’s “Ashes to Ashes.” OH, THE IRONY!

The Mighty 690: All 80's Radio

If you grew up in San Diego, Orange County or Los Angeles during the same time that I did, I don’t need to tell you about The Mighty 690.
You remember, and can still here the bizarre, Spanish intros they’d play before you’d hear Duran Duran, Don Henley, Gary Numan, Billy Idol, Men At Work, Thomas Dolby and more.
The history of the AM radio station is right here.

Chris, the Intern, wanted to build an 80’s station online. For this tribute he wanted everything to be as authentic as possible.
He hopes you enjoy this little piece of retro cyberspace. He won’t be successful without your support. When you’re listening, tell your friends on social media.
